Overview of goWebtop |
||
goWebtop is a new kind of online desktop that allows you to communicate and collaborate, no matter where you are or what browser you're using. Built using Laszlo Webtop, the service combines multiple Web 2.0-based applications that are designed to seamlessly interact with one another, creating a fluid user experience that does what you want, when you want it to. goWebtop is a full featured communication and collaboration application suite that also includes integrated Mail, Calendar and Contacts. Note that you can easily dock a window or move the location of a window on your screen by simply dragging and dropping to a new location. The default is for Calendar and Mail to be open and Contacts to be docked. Simply click on the Contacts button in the header to undock. | ||

SmartObjects™ |
||
Webtop supports the concept of an SmartObject, which allows a user to share content between Webtop applications. Based on industry standards like ICS for calendars and VCF for Contacts, you can drag a contact or appointment into an email address and send it to another user, where it can be copied into another calendar or address book that supports those standards. This also allows a user to add these to their Webtop applications even if they were sent from some other platform. |
